Cheryl,
Thank you so much for the INCREDIBLE keynote presentation that you prepared for the Houston Chapter of IFMA. I, personally, thought it was one of the most entertaining and insightful presentations that I have had the pleasure of sitting through. I have gotten a lot of feedback from the attendees and the feeling appears to be unanimous; Cheryl Cran Rocks! I especially appreciate how you took the time to learn so much about our industry and incorporate it into your presentation. Spoken like a true Facilities Management Pro!–J Benjamin
Associates Committee Chairperson, Houston Chapter of IFMA
We had Cheryl speak at a January 2012 conference in Atlanta in front of senior executives in the logistics, transportation and supply chain industry. She talked about changing generations at work – from Gen X to Gen Y and Zoomers. Her remarks on the changing dynamics of incorporating the work habits of all the generations was very relevant to the group from an industry known as traditional. She received very good remarks for both her presentation skills but more for her relevance as to why the dynamics matter to industry leaders and the next two or three generations of emerging leaders.

“Cheryl your keynote on the leadership impact of generational perspectives on our industry was
right on target! I had many audience members come up to me and say
that your keynote was relevant, insightful and humorous.
Our executive team loved you too! On behalf of the McDonalds
Restaurant W.O.N/WLN conference and the 1000 attendees- Thank- you!!”

You certainly had our group buzzing with excitement during and following the presentation. You gave us some valuable insights into leading the different generations of customers and staff. I overheard lots of GenY, GenX and Zoomer discussions from our dealers for the next few days following your presentation. I would certainly recommend you to any other groups ( except our competitors, of course).

I wanted to send a big thank you for your very successful presentation at our staff meeting. Your presentation kept everyone entertained and engaged while presenting very practical information. I appreciate that you took the time to learn more about our organization and the employees who attended the meeting in order to customize your presentation. The tailored material you included was very well received and enhanced the delivery for everyone in attendance. I hope to have the pleasure to work with you again and would highly recommend you as a presenter.

Cheryl, your keynote “On The Leading Edge of Change” was the highlight of our conference! You did a great job of wrapping up the content of our conference and provided usable strategies for our group. Amazingly your message appealed to the mixed audience of Gen X, Y’s and Zoomers and the majority of the 600 attendees rated you 5 stars.
The custom video you put together demonstrated your research and understanding of our culture and was a nice touch that personalized your message. The combination of stories, statistics and movie clips resulted in a dynamic ending to our leadership conference. It was a resounding success!SVP TD Canada Trust Western Region
Just wanted to send a big thanks and appreciation to Cheryl Cran our Keynote for our 2011 Provincial Conference. She truly was the perfect fit!
All the verbal reviews I have heard to date have been beyond positive for Cheryl and her session. In fact, the overall review seems to be that Cheryl was our best Keynote to date, and this was our 14th year. Cheryl was truly a joy to meet and I hope this is the beginning of a long relationship with NLOWE and Cheryl. I will be certain to spread the word of how great she is!
